The Empire of Itani is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King William IV with an even hand, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 13.814 billion Itanians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alinor. The average income tax rate is 98.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Itanian economy, worth a remarkable 3,562 trillion Crowns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 257,907 Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Turning eighteen is often referred to as the 'Age of Aquarius', bad punctuation has come to a full stop, surfing lessons include how to ward off sharks, and the fattest folk in Itani look to be the happiest ones. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Itani's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Faith of the Eight.

Itani is ranked 973^rd in the world and 32^nd in the South Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 91.12 average smiles per day.
